Russo Scores Massive Double Through Pantaleo

Level 26 : 20,000/40,000, 5,000 ante

Giuseppe Pantaleo raised to 80,000 from middle position, and Stephen Russo three-bet to 315,000 from the big blind. Pantaleo four-bet jammed, putting Russo to a decision for the remainder of his stack, which was about 720,000, and he went into the tank. After several minutes, he eventually called to put himself at risk.

Pantaleo: {A-Hearts}{8-Hearts}
Russo: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}

Russo had the preflop advantage but was racing for his tournament life, and Pantaleo needed to improve in order to eliminate his opponent. The board ran out {9-Diamonds}{2-Hearts}{2-Diamonds}{3-Clubs}{4-Hearts}, and Russo's pocket pair held for the double-up, putting his stack over the 2,000,000-chip mark.

A Lucky Chop for David Bagheri

Level 25 : 15,000/30,000, 5,000 ante

Antonio Graham raised to 70,000 from under the gun, Huihan Wu called from the button, and David Bagheri called from the big blind.

The flop came {J-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{6-Clubs}, and Bagheri jammed for about 380,000. Graham called to put Bagheri at risk, and Wu folded.

Graham: {Q-Hearts}{Q-Clubs}
Bagheri: {Q-Spades}{J-Spades}

Bagheri had flopped top pair but was far behind Graham's pocket queens and needed help from the deck to stay alive. The {10-Diamonds} turn and {9-Hearts} river meant the two players chopped the pot with identical queen-high straights.
